Short descriptionI was built around the middle of the 13th century in Early-Gothic style and a two-body main hall has been added already in the last quarter of the same century. Brick gables, with its face divided with panneling, are from the second half of the 15th century. J. Mocker reconstructed this synagogue in 1883. Another reconstruction was performed in 1966 when workers also renovated calligraphic writings in the main hall.

Interesting detailThe legend says that Rabbi Levi's Golem is hidden somewhere in the synagogue.
